Honeywell releases the Lyric system SIXPIR passive infra-red motion detection sensor, which is quite possibly the most advanced motion detection sensor on the market. This video will show you how to install the sensor in a corner mounting area.

The new Lyric security system from Honeywell has all new technology for all in one wireless home protection. All of the sensors are battery operated and have full supervision which will give you complete control of your entire home defense system.

The SIXPIR passive infra-red motion detection sensor is a mini computer that is able to receive wireless firmware updates through the secure connection. The look of the sensor matches the look of the lyric system which allows for aesthetic appearance and a low profile.

The Lyric SIXPIR is a bit larger than the previous series motion sensors, however, with wireless technology, signal encryption, built in thermistor and a longer rage, these are the most popular passive infra-red motion detection sensor sensors on the market.

To install the SIXPIR motion detection sensor, you need to determine the proper placement. The sensor works between 7 feet and 9 feet off the ground, with optimal detection at 7 feet 6 inches.

You should also note that you cannot mount this directly up against the ceiling. The battery will eventually need to be changed and you will need to remove the sensor from the mounting plate to do so.

The tab for sensor removal is on the top of the sensor. When installing, ensure you leave enough room to access the tab with a finger so that removal is easy.

When looking at the mounting plate you will see two screw holes on each of the beveled edges. The video will point these screw holes out. To install the mounting plate you do not need to use wall anchors.

Press a screw into the screw hole and drill it into the wall with a power drill. Make sure, as the video will warn, that the beveled edges are flush with the adjacent walls. To ensure a snug and proper fit, use all 4 screw holes and alternate sides when tightening.

It is important to note that you should not over tighten the screws. Doing so can cause the mounting plate to bow or warp. If this occurs, the sensor will not fit into the mounting plate.

Once you have the mounting plate secure and ensured that it is flush and level, position the sensor to the guides and slide the sensor down, locking it in place. If you have difficulty, view the video to see how it is done.

Once the sensor is properly mounted you will need to test it. Walking by the sensor with it active will set the control panel off and you will hear the audible alarm.
